Yank it and forget about it. Best mod that can be done for the handling without spending mega bucks. I didn't find it any more difficult to handle on trails and hardpack, just got to get the new feel for it. It is a huge improvement for climbing, sidehilling, boondocking, and transitioning from one type of terrain to the next(like cutting up a berm off off a groomed run up the mountain, it will sidehill and climb up better instead of just wanting to roll over back onto the groomer run). Just hit it with a sawsall and toss her in the recycle bin, no sense putting in the time to take it out intact because you will never want to have it in again anyway.
